Bloody N00bs

[carver]

I stumbled upon a poor young bloke on a CBR250 today at the lights

said it kept cutting out and he could not get it to go when in gear.

let me have a go i said...
it must have been in 5th gear....

got it into first and rode off....

did a few skids on the grass with it.

gave it back and told him...
he said thanks, and i pulled a 2nd gear standup away from him

bloody n00bs

Were you riding your Beta Techno?

[steve_t]

LOL. I guess as the weather fines up, there'll be more and more.

Carver, you probably could have just told him... but what fun would that have been eh? :bleh:

Oy should'nt make light, I regularly used to stall a dirt bike when I was learning in 3rd, 4th or 5th. Far to busy s******g myself & trying to brake to change down. Many happy hours spent in a bog rocking my bike back & forth trying to find first. I was a black belt NooB.

I never did it!

you just got to change down to keep the power on!

I learnt on a RD50!

[Rayray401]

Well, there'll be more and more of those.. and when ACC taxes us off....we'll get all the rich fobs coming in nz..getting CBRs Ninjas..who cant ride..><

[Conquiztador]

Automatic and battery bikes will solve that problem. I'll be like now with cars. "You only got a manual? I can't drive manuals, they are so difficoult..." :laugh:

[davebullet]

Maybe he did it deliberately so he could see one of the great MFSC in action!

[McJim]

Eh? You can't take off in 5th? Your clutch control must be shit. :Pokey::rofl:

look at me look at me look at me look at me!!! WAAAHH!!!!:bleh::stupid:

Dumb is good enough to pass a basic handling test and then quickly become an ACC statistic.

After you explained gear change to him, did you then explain steering and cornering also?

well he pulled a second gear standup away from him (im not familiar with mfsc terminology, but it this a wheelstand im guessing) so now he has something new to try, clearly wheelieing is the obvious next step from gear selection:bleh:

well, changing gear is a starter

[TuonoTom]

I think LOL sums up this pretty well.

I struggle here somewhat!! On one hand you spout on about how you would be and want to be a great mentor on the other hand you take some noobs bike do skids on it and wheelie off away from him.

Mentor material - me thinks not

[Bren]

Have pity on the poor chap....we all started somewhere...

Maybe not the best thing to show him when the poor guy cant even find first though.

This is also the same person that somebody was bludging money for legal defence for just a few days ago.
Sooner his licence is pulled the better:sick:

"the sooner your ACC levies go up the better"

I never asked for money, but the option was there.

Carver, your'e a bloody fruit loop boyo, but nice work helping the guy out aye.
Liked watching the bridge ride, remember to lets us know how it goes.

i will always help another biker

[caseye]

I know that!

[Thani-B]

Yeah, so now hes gonna go and try to do a wheelie when he hasnt got the knowledge or skills, and might end up hurting himself. You need a sign on your back with "Kids, dont try this at home" or words to that effect.

[robo555]

Why da hell does everyone say "Don't try this at home", is it more suitable to try it at a friend's home?

[marine0089]

you sure he even had a license?

[Nibblet]

Just cos you see someone do something doesn't mean your going to try it, let alone straight away? Maybe the dude is mature enough to realise he can't yet ride for shit and will be smart enough to hold off popping wheelies till later?

All if, buts and maybes though

[tri boy]

Yours is to have sex with a woman.

well, it will teach him a bit about bike control


whats wrong with you noobs, im sure he has the sense to know what he can and cannot do

its called fear

mine is to date your son


lol, I would think that would be pretty cool if I was in the guys situation!

i agree

[Nibblet]

Read my post a bit slower carver and you might click on to the fact that;

is exactly what i was getting at.

[2wheeldrifter]

Ohhhhhhh god hope your son's a trany :shutup: then Carver has a chance!

[Chrislost]

First is one click up. Then you smack it down everytime the engine starts making a funny buzzing sound...

They think that he is going to die trying to wheelie in a carpark!
It hurts less fucking up a 160km.h wheelie then it does clipping a bus at 50! but they are KBers so they think that anything too scary for them to do is going to kill you, half here wouldnt even know what the right handle is for, let alone the space between the ears.

well, you said it!

it used to be different a few years back!

it used to be cool!

now we are considered dangerous, cause "no one execpt me is good enough to do that safely"

[wbks]

I may have to learn to wheelie one day, this noob that can't use a clutch may beat me to it with carver at hand!

Not sure about your technique or attitude, but good on you for stopping and helping the guy/gal out anyway.

i used to do them when it was dead cold and take it to the redline at 6am on a winters morning.
after the gearbox stated to show signs of abuse it did not go through the gearbox so well on the back wheel
14,000 rpm in 2nd crouching.
